Re: Help Identify a German Tail Fin
This is without a doubt the tail section of a Fw 190D-9, and it is the first time that I see physical evidence of this particular W.Nr.
It was in all likelihood a I. or II./JG 26 aircraft, or a former III./JG 54 plane that was passed on to JG 26 after 25 February 1945 (until that time III./JG 54 had operated under JG 26 command). All D-9s in the series 210139 to 210160 were delivered to these Gruppen, with the single exception of W.Nr. 210145, which was a 12./JG 2 aircraft (lost on 01 January 1945 during Bodenplatte).
This is a great find and I am grateful that you share this picture with us.
Cheers,
Marc
